Editor's Note

Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Brian Selznick's award-winning novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret stars Asa Butterfield, as an orphan boy who lives in a Parisian train station. Sent to live with his drunken uncle after his father's death in a fire, Hugo learned how to wind the massive clocks that run throughout the station. When the uncle disappears one day, Hugo decides to maintain the clocks on his own, hoping nobody will catch on to him squatting in the station.

His natural aptitude for engineering leads him to steal gears, tools, and other items from a toy-shop owner who maintains a storefront in the station. Hugo needs these purloined pieces in order to rebuild a mechanical man that was left in the father's care at the museum -- the restoration was a project father and son did together.

When Georges (Ben Kingsley), the old man who runs the toy stand, catches on to the thievery, he threatens to turn Hugo over to the station's lone police officer (Sacha Baron Cohen, who makes every effort to send any parentless child in the station to the orphanage. But Hugo's run-in with Georges leads to a friendship with the elderly gentleman's goddaughter, Isabelle (Chloe Grace Moretz), who unknowingly possesses the last item Hugo needs to make the mechanical man work again.

Hugo won five out of the 11 Oscars it was nominated for, and the same level of artistry and craftsmanship that went into its creation is maintained in its impressive Blu-ray release. Though it may seem surprising director Martin Scorsese would make a film based on Brain Selznick's Caldecott Medal-winning children's novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret, when the plot's mystery is revealed, it becomes obvious why the material was such a natural fit for him....read the full review

Professional Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times 4 stars out of 4 -- "HUGO is unlike any other film Martin Scorsese has ever made, and yet possibly the closest to his heart: a big-budget, family epic in 3-D, and in some ways, a mirror of his own life." 11/18/2011

Wall Street Journal "Martin Scorsese's love of the movie medium shines through almost every frame of HUGO, which culminates in a creation -- a fascinating re-creation -- that could only have been achieved by a filmmaker with all of the medium's resources at his command." 11/25/2011

Box Office 5 stars out of 5 -- "Magical and imaginative, this eye-popping masterpiece from director Martin Scorsese will transport audiences to a place they won't believe." 11/21/2011

USA Today "[T]he manner in which the film blends the tale of an imperiled boy and the history of cinema makes for an ambitious and fanciful ride." 11/20/2011

New York Times "[A]n enchantment from Martin Scorsese....It?s serious, beautiful, wise to the absurdity of life and in the embrace of a piercing longing." 11/23/2011

Hollywood Reporter "A passionate brief for film preservation wrapped in a fanciful tale of childhood intrigue and adventure, HUGO dazzlingly conjoins the earliest days of cinema with the very latest big-screen technology." 11/17/2011

Movieline "With HUGO Scorsese forges a connection between past and present, enlisting newish 3-D technology in the service of honoring all the things movies can mean to us....HUGO states, in its adamant, straightforward poetry, that old things do matter." 11/23/2011

Washington Post 3 stars out of 4 -- "With its gorgeous sets and superb camerawork by Robert Richardson, HUGO splashes across the screen with elegant, visually vibrant flair..." 11/23/2011

A.V. Club "It?s a complex fusion of film history and personal history, filled with dazzling embellishments and unabashed sentiment about the glories of cinema." -- Grade: A- 11/22/2011

Entertainment Weekly "[HUGO is] art that uses the most advanced of 3-D technology to sing a song of love to the movies, from the very dawn of the medium." 12/02/2011

Rolling Stone 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "HUGO will take your breath away. It truly is the stuff that dreams are made of." 12/08/2011

Total Film 4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hat emerges is wonderful: an enchanting, funny, heartfelt love letter to French film pioneer Georges Melies -- and to cinema itself." 02/01/2012

Sight and Sound "HUGO is certainly a vivid concoction, beginning with an epic swoop into and through a bustling, smoke-wreathed Montparnasse station....HUGO's characters invoke cinema's magic and wonder..." 02/01/2012

Salon 10 of 10Instead of sticking with the familiar, Scorsese has followed his impulses into something that feels entirely new but is still distinctively his. He has made a potential holiday classic, an exciting, comic and sentimental melodrama that will satisfy children and adults alike and reward repeat viewings for many years to come. - Andrew O'Hehir

Chicago Sun-Times 10 of 10The way Hugo deals with Melies is enchanting in itself, but the film's first half is devoted to the escapades of its young hero. In the way the film uses CGI and other techniques to create the train station and the city, the movie is breathtaking. - Roger Ebert
